Mafia Wars Bodyguards and Whipping Boys

You’ve got to love collecting the criminal lifestyle when you play Mafia Wars.  And Mafia Wars bodyguards are certainly part of that mafia mystique.  Sure, they are useful defensive equipment (DEF 25), but there are better to be had in the game.  What’s the lure of bodyguards?

Regardless of mobster status, bodyguards have the real effect of keeping you from being pistol whipped on the fightlist all the time.  Newbies getting targeted by higher level players is de rigour for the game, so it’s no surprise that finding defense like Mafia Wars bodyguards is at the top of a new player’s list of needs.

Looking for where to find Mafia Wars bodyguards?  You will find bodyguards in the loot from the Protect Your City from a Rival Family job in the Hitman tier.  One cool thing about those bodyguards is that you can earn a set while you are still in those beginner levels.  (If you’re already going to Cuba, you can get a Guerilla Squad with even greater defense than bodyguards in El Padrino tier – Storm the Presidential Palace.)

The job that earns you Mafia Wars bodyguards is really very experience/energy smart, as well.  You’ll spend 31 energy and earn fifty-eight experience.  Experience to energy ratio of 1.87 makes that job is a good bet for leveling, [as well].  It’s a good energy investment and gets you the bodyguards, arguably the top defensive equipment available to lower level players from job loot.  The strengthening of your defense due to bodyguards will enable you to defeat a gamer who attacks you when your attacker is generally equal to you.  I recommend that you get bodyguards for as many members of your crew as you can.

Maybe you have a more difficult problem than a few Mafia Wars bodyguards can remedy.  Has a experienced gamer with infinitely larger crew and massively superior equipment made a favorites tab of your game profile for the sole purpose of attacking your character every time you log on?  Not fun and bodyguards may not be enough to end the abuse.

We better go over a bit of Mafia Wars fight strategy.

Is your personal defense stat a sad zero?
Are you waiting to add mafia members ‘when you have time’?
Have you neglected mafia equipment?

Alf Hassed fight strategy will equal you becoming a floor mop for Mafia Wars.  When you’ve attracted a Mafia Wars bully, you won’t be able to continue to allocate all your skill points to energy; you’ll want to invest some into defense.  Attackers also target players with a teeny mafia because they are easier to beat.  You’ll have to add some crew size.  And you’ll have to equip that crew as well as you can afford – every one needs a weapon, armor, and vehicle.  When you equip your family with the best equipment for defense, you’ll be stronger when you are attacked and therefore a better bet to win the fight.

Good luck and go find some Mafia Wars bodyguards!
